Thai red-shirt protesters blockade Bangkok shops, BBC News (2010).

This article discusses the anti-government protesters who shut down Bangkok's shopping district and stormed election commission office in the demand for the government to step down and hold fresh elections. They have been demonstrating in the Thai capital for almost a month and over the weekend moved their protest to its commercial hub. A government request for a court eviction order has been turned down. The court ruled that the government already had the power to evict the protesters under the emergency security laws it has imposed. The protesters say they will not move until their demands are met and, says the BBC's South East Asia correspondent Rachel Harvey, their tactics are becoming increasingly bold and provocative.
